WORDS: MATTHEW TODD PHOTOGRAPHS: VICTORIA WILL

Congratulations on your Golden Globe nominations. There’s lots of awards buzz. What does that mean to you?

It’s exciting. It means more people will see it, which is extraordinary. We were trying to do justice to being raised in that community. To see that being celebrated on a larger scale is exciting. More people can see this place that very few have heard of outside of police reports.
